Su Mengyan asked again, and An Lirong finally said, "No, nothing, it's just that there are too many people here, and I might feel a little uncomfortable. I'll go to a place with fewer people and wait for you."
An Lirong said this deliberately. She knew that with so many people around, especially those following Situ Yao and the others, the person who gave her the jade pendant would not show up easily.
That's why she said she wanted to find a place with fewer people, so that if the person had any problems, he could find her.
Just like that, An Lirong slowly walked out of the crowd and came to a place where there were fewer people. This was a flower boat, and An Lirong was going to wait for that person here.
However, before she could do anything, she suddenly felt something hit her head and she immediately lost consciousness and fell into a coma.
On the other side, Su Mengyan and a few others played for a long time and then started looking for An Lirong. However, most people had left and they still couldn't find An Lirong.
All of a sudden, Su Mengyan became a little anxious. An Lirong always knew how to behave, so how could she suddenly not be able to find anyone?
"Situ Yao, An Lirong is missing, what should we do?" Because they were outside the palace, Su Mengyan was afraid that others would recognize their identities, so she called Situ Yao by his name.
Situ Yao frowned, feeling a little unhappy, but she was a concubine in his harem after all, and Su Mengyan also spoke.
So, Situ Yao ordered the guards around him: "Send more people to go and look for An Yingda and see where he is."
The guards took the order and left, leaving only some people with strong martial arts skills to protect Situ Yao and others.
At this moment, Chu Meng suddenly ran over: "Sister Yan'er, something bad has happened, something bad has happened."
"What's wrong? What happened?" Su Mengyan was startled and asked Chu Meng who was running over.
Showing Su Mengyan what she had in her hand, Chu Meng said breathlessly, "This is Sister An's jade pendant."
What? Su Mengyan was shocked. An Lirong's jade pendant. You know, under normal circumstances, jade pendants are close to the body and will never be thrown away easily. So, Su Mengyan asked, "Where did you find it?"
Chu Meng knew the seriousness of the situation and, not caring about the fact that she was still gasping for breath, immediately said, "By the river, I was just trying to look for Sister An and I found Sister An's jade pendant by the river."
By the river, Chu Meng's words made Su Mengyan's heart suddenly rise. Originally, if she couldn't find An Lirong, she could comfort herself by saying that she just missed her and didn't find her. But now that she found her jade pendant, that was definitely not the case.
As mentioned before, jade pendants are personal belongings and generally do not fall off easily. The fact that An Lirong's jade pendant was found by the river means that something may have happened to An Lirong by the river.
Originally, she just wanted to go out of the palace for a trip, but who knew something like this would happen. Su Mengyan's face was filled with anxiety, which made Situ Yao heartbroken.
"Yan'er, I have sent people to look for her. Don't think too much. Everything will be fine." Situ Yao could see that Su Mengyan was worried about An Lirong's safety, so he comforted her.
As the night deepened, the streets, once populated by a few pedestrians, suddenly became deserted. The weather grew colder, especially at night, when the wind chilled the air and the dew was heavy.
Even a big man like Situ Yao felt a little cold, not to mention that there were weak women like Chu Meng and pregnant women like Su Mengyan around him.
"It's late at night. You should go back and rest first. I will tell you as soon as I have any news." Situ Yao said to Su Mengyan.
No matter what An Lirong is like now, Situ Yao absolutely does not want to see Su Mengyan feel uncomfortable.
Su Mengyan wanted to say something, but Situ Yao was determined not to let her continue wandering the streets: "Okay, I know you are worried about her, but no matter how worried you are, you have to take care of your own health."
Touching her bulging belly, Su Mengyan knew that what Situ Yao said made sense. In fact, a person of her condition was already heavy and she had been feeling sleepy for a long time, but because An Lirong had not been found yet, she held on and did not rest.
And now Situ Yao promised himself that he would tell him if he had any news.
Yes, even if I stay up all night, I can’t help. It’s better to rest well and let Situ Yao go look for An Lirong without worry.
Thinking of this, Su Mengyan no longer made any excuses and followed Situ Yao back to the resting place. Looking at Su Mengyan's exhausted appearance, she fell asleep on the bed not long after.
And Situ Yao always stayed by Su Mengyan's side.
In a messy warehouse, An Lirong was tied up with ropes and lying on the ground unconscious.
"Hmm." With a moan, the woman on the ground slowly opened her eyes. An Lirong only felt a little pain on the back of her head. She wanted to rub it with her hands, but suddenly found that her hands could not move.
Only then did she take a closer look and realize that she was tied up like a dumpling. The ground was dusty, making An Lirong's clothes very dirty.
An Lirong's face was still pressed against the ground. After realizing her current situation, she tried hard to sit up straight.
Just as she was trying to sit up, a voice suddenly reached her ears: "I didn't expect you to be still alive."
At this time, An Lirong was half hunched over. When she heard the man's voice, she immediately opened her eyes wide and looked forward.
What did he mean? What did he mean by not expecting that he was still alive?
Finally, An Lirong sat up. Because this action took a lot of effort, she was a little out of breath.
However, as soon as she sat up, she immediately retorted: "Oh, why can't I live? You want me to die, but it's not that easy."
The man snorted coldly, "It's not that easy. Then why are you here now? You said I wanted to kill you, but it's just a matter of moving my fingers."
Indeed, An Lirong's life is in the hands of this man at this moment. It is not impossible that he will kill An Lirong with a knife if he is unhappy.
An Lirong was a little anxious, not understanding what this man wanted to do by capturing her, but after hearing what he said, she wished she could die quickly.
No, don't be anxious, An Lirong comforted herself in her heart, and she must think carefully about how to escape from this person.
Seeing that An Lirong didn't say anything, the man thought that his words had frightened An Lirong, and then he laughed: "It would be best if you could behave yourself, otherwise..."
"What else?" An Lirong looked at the man coldly and interrupted his next words in a cold voice.
